At a time when the used car market hadn’t exploded, if you were on a budget 10,000 eurosyou have access to the models less than five years. Unfortunately, that era is over. Today, with this envelope, we are forced to return to cars elderly from 5 to 9 years.

At our choice, we had the same reliability requirements. So we have fragile models are excluded which are incriminated in our own barometer.

Motorization 1.0 TFSI with Audi A1 replaces 1.2, which was certainly successful, but its distribution chain remained fragile. THE The 1.0 TFSI performs better again, that his older brother by birth more sober AND more fit in terms of recovery. Version 95 hp gives access to the processing layer Ambiente who has a good gift.

Indeed, his folding rear seats, one of the widest in production and its affordable prices contribute to this. Engine 2.0 TDCI 120 hp provides good passability of the Kuga “2”, despite the weight of the latter. This engine too less greedy than the 140 hp version it replaces.

However, you’ll have to take the Zoe with the engine Renault P240because it More reliable than the Continental versions of the Q210.
